>          Components: Security
>    Affects Versions: 1.7.0, 1.7.1
>         Environment: Reverse Proxy & trying to use other credential provider when the reverse proxy provides a client certificate itself.

> As discussed on mailing list.
> JettyServer always calls either setNeedClientAuth(true) or setWantClientAuth(true).
> When used with a reverse proxy that has a client certificate, it is impossible currently to use other credential providers as the X509 authentication takes precedence.
> Adding the ability to disable wantClientAuth via a NiFi property would enable the ability to leverage existing SSO solutions behind a reverse proxy.
